Try getting album released up-front -- a pain (7)
I believe the answer is:
lumbago
'pain' is the definition.
(I know that lumbago is a type of backache)
'try getting album released' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'go' (both can mean an attempt).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'released' indicates an anagram (letters released from their original order).
'album' with letters rearranged gives 'lumba'.
'go' after 'lumba' is 'LUMBAGO'.
'up-front a' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lumbago that I've seen before include "Rheumatism of lower back" , "Maul bog badly for a rheumatic affliction" , "Gaul mob (anag.)" , "Rheumatic pain in the small of the back" , "Back complaint" .)
